4-6Chronicles of Egg series.
Egg rockets from one adventure to the next in this third volume. Relying on his wit and his friends to help him out of some wildly unexpected situations, he finds a treasure (which is disappointing), defeats an enemy pirate (gratifying), frees some Native slaves (disturbing), and reunites with his beloved Millicent (rewarding). Rodkey's fast-paced action and dialogue infuse Egg's tale with energy and humor.
